26、For years, spring in our town was announced by Leon and Jo Martin, who owned the Dairy Queen. Every year, after their winter short-stay in Florida, they would post the words “Now Hiring” on their sign. I would walk past, see the sign, see Leon and Jo readying for their spring opening, and feel winter’s icy veil (面纱) lift from around me. It was as accurate an indication of spring as any calendar, and when they died and their children sold the Dairy Queen to someone who kept it open year-round, it threw off our town’s circadian (生理节奏的) rhythms something terrible. We’re still not sure when spring begins.

Well, that’s not entirely accurate. When the tool store on the west edge of town, where Johnston’s IGA grocery store used to be, stops selling snowplows and starts selling lawn mowers, that’s a pretty good sign winter’s ruling has loosened.

There are other signs of spring if one is watchful. The deer lighten in color, the dog sheds, the buds swell, the snow melts on the south hillside, and the calf appears, tied to its mother by bonds of hunger. The farmer casts the manure (肥料) upon the field, thoughtfully provided by the aforementioned calf and mother. Who needs a calendar when a calf is nearby?

Nothing seems impossible in spring—a cure for cancer, weight loss. Anything can happen, and often does. I proposed to my girl-friend a dozen times and was denied each time, so I waited until spring and raised the question a 13th time, and she said ‘‘yes’’. Engaged one spring, married the next.

【1】How did the people in the town know the coming of spring?

A．They were told by Leon and Jo Martin.

B．They read the best calendars of the world.

C．They saw the shop-owner preparing for business.

D．They found Leon’s family coming back from Florida.

【2】What does the writer mainly want to convey in the last two paragraphs?

A．His gird-friend is rather stubborn.

B．It is not a proper time to lose weight.

C．One can only propose marriage in spring.

D．There’re signs to strengthen coming of spring.

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Why I Love Spring

B．How I Know It’s Spring

C．A Year’s Plan Starts with Spring

D．Changes Take Place in My Town

28、   As we all know, it isn’t healthy to stay up late and poor sleep quality can leave us feeling low. However, many people still cannot get enough sleep, especially the young.

Over 60% Chinese youths aged 6 to 17 sleep less than eight hours a day, according to a report released by the Chinese Sleep Research Society (CSRS). Among 13-to 17-year-olds, the figure is more than 81%.

According to the study, too much school homework is a major cause for sleep loss among young people. For example, from Monday to Thursday, 8.4% of them would still be busy with their homework after 11 pm. Another major cause of young people’s inadequate sleep is the frequent use of electronic devices (电子设备). More than 41% children and teenagers who sleep too little use electronic devices such as computer tablets and mobile phones, the survey found.

Lack of sleep among children and teenagers has raised concern. “Sleep loss can lead to weakened immunity (免疫力) and memory, and can also prevent physical growth,” Wang Zan, a member of the CSRS, told People’s Daily.

To reduce students’ academic burden, the Ministry of Education and eight other departments released a guideline (指南) on Dec 28. For example, it says that junior high students should spend no more than 90 minutes on homework and senior high students must do their homework in a proper time limit. Local education authorities across China should also take more steps to help students get more sleep, including delaying the start of morning classes by half an hour.

【1】What does the CSRS report find?

A.About 81% children sleep less than eight hours.

B.About 41% youths have serious sleep problems.

C.More than 60% young people suffer lack of sleep.

D.Only 8.4% students finish homework before 10:30 pm.

【2】Why can’t young people get enough sleep?

A.They start to do their homework very late. B.They often watch TV for hours after work.

C.They take too many after-school courses. D.They have too much homework to finish.

【3】What problem might lack of sleep lead to?

A.Weight gain. B.Poor memory. C.Mental problems. D.Bad mood.

【4】How can the government help students get more sleep?

A.By limiting the amount of homework. B.By getting homework done at school.

C.By shortening the time a certain class. D.By allowing a half-an-hour early leave.

29、   Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.

Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.

Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so pleased in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.

Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.

This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.

Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.

That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.

【1】What happened when the author was about to take a photo?

A.A woman blocked her view. B.Her camera stopped working.

C.Someone asked her to leave. D.A friend approached from behind.

【2】According to the author, the woman was probably_______.

A.losing her patience B.enjoying herself

C.waiting for the sunset D.thinking about her past

【3】In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?

A.The rich color of the landscape. B.The perfect positioning of the camera.

C.The soft sunlight that summer day. D.The woman’s existence in the photo.
